The advantage of having a Thinkpad USB keyboard is that I could find a laptop keyboard as a replacement. I had to find a replacement because the hinge of a key broke and this variant had vastly different hinges from those of the compatible keyboards. I could order individual keys with accompanying hinges but they were always the wrong ones in my case. Getting a complete new keyboard was easier. It's not ideal either but it works.

@thelastgherkin Naughty naughty

@thelastgherkin Aaah... So it is not derived from the German word "Tier" (plural "Tiere"), which means "animal".
-
@zeldatra Thanks for the clarification. I'm only vaguely familiar with Twilight Princess.
-
OK.... Tears of the Kingdom... What does "tears" refer to? Is it the liquid coming out of the eyes (for example while crying) or is it the edge of two pieces of a material/object that has been ripped apart (for example tearing a piece of paper in two pieces)?
-
@scribus Yeah. I think the same of the stock exchange. It's a huge and legal gambling machine.
-
I think I wait a little bit before I buy Tears of the Kingdom. As I've heard the physical launch version has some performance issues. I rather wait so the physical I buy contains the day 1 patch.

@zeldatra Yeah. Every time I thought: "Who in their right mind would buy into that stuff?!?!? It's obviously a scam." Well... It was a scam but I'm not richer from that outcome, except for a sense of being right. People still fall for MLM schemes. The next dumb thing is always there.
Anything dumb is on the verge of exploiting the dumb masses.
What about I come up with something myself. Like a dumb attachment for the heels, like cowboy spurs, but they make some sound every time you make a step (obviously you need an app to configure that). The marketing gag is that it should encourage walking. But it will make all bystanders insane and children will abuse them in every way possible. -
One could assume that Amazon, as a business that started with selling books, should know how to handle books for delivery, so they don't get smushed, bent, creased, dented, or scratched. I was ordering RPG books and almost every time I had to send back damaged books for replacement. Soft cover, hard cover. Both were affected by bad handling and packaging.

Ooof... The new Youtube redesign of the browser-side interface is awful.
I wanted to read some comments and scrolled down but it was greeted with more video recommendations. The comments were like on mobile tablet where they popped up on the side upon clicking a special button to reveal comments. I saw this redesign only once. Apparently it was very temporary as I haven't seen it since. I'm not very hopeful it will stay that way. -
I'm somewhat frugal with my expenses but on the other hand I just spent a good chunk for D&D supplement books (Tome of Beasts 1 - 3 by Kobold Press) on a whim.

I'm increasingly annoyed by the suggestions from Intellicode in Visual Studio. My company nagged me to install Visual Studio Enterprise. Before I used the Community edition (with a proper License). Intellicode *sometimes* it does get what I want to write but more times than not it is interrupting my flow. I'm gonna disable it next time I start Visual Studio. I just need basic auto-completion and navigation of an object's fields, properties, and methods.

It's getting too warm now. It's time to put my electric blanket off my office chair. I used it in the cold days to heat up my back in order to lessen my back pain and keep me warm.

@scribus People who think they value freedom of speech actually hate the freedom of speech of others.

Horror monster idea: A tooth fairy but instead of taking the fallen-off tooth from under the pillow, the fairy pulls a good tooth out of the mouth while the victim is sleeping and leaves a delayed extreme pain when the victim wakes up.

Just completed Yakuza Like A Dragon. It took me 58.5 hours. Most of the time was spent grinding for overcoming three major road blocks as the difficulty spiked. Also it took many, many attempts at overcoming them. The enemies hit REALLY, REALLY HAAARD and are damage sponges the world has never seen. I was never overleveled, maybe a little under-leveled. Along the whole playthrough I never felt, except for the few spikes, I had to grind. I grinded a little bit the business mini-game as it was a good money income in order to purchase better gear but I didn't mind that much as I wanted to complete it anyway.

@scribus 15 Chapter. The length of a chapter is rather uneven. The later chapters in a yakuza game are longer when trying to get most of the sidestories. I expect it to take 15 hours to finish.
-
Yakuza: Like a Dragon - 40 hours in and I'm at chapter 11.
-
Aaaand.... Yakuza 6 is done. 35 hours. It was fun but the fights were like in Kiwami 2. They were quite ragdoll-y and a lot more physics influenced. Not a fan of that. Also it sucks that the heat actions weren't that reliable as in the other installments.

OMG. I'm 60 hours in Yakuza 5 and still not in the last chapter.

Also the Yakuza games are basically the Die Hard of the video games: Taking place around Christmas but only give nods to it on the side.

Yakuza 5 is too damn long. I recently finished the part with Haruka and Akiyama. They were character #3 and #4, and yet there is another one and still far from reaching the end. Each part is as long as a full game with all the sidestory stuff.

Oh boy. Steam sales. Bought for myself Yakuza 6 and Like a Dragon (7). Gonna finish all of the games eventually. Judgment and Lost Judgment is still a bit on the pricier side and buy them when they are dirt cheap. For Like a Dragon: Ishin! my PC barely scrapes over the min specs and the game is too new.
